What jacket(s) are you wearing at the moment?

[Smithy]

Foxes everywhere here. Quite often cut through the garden although we had one awhile back who plonked himself on the front lawn and just hung out for an hour or so. Didn't give a shit about people walking past him to get to the car.

We used to get foxes in Oz but you never saw them in the city - well I never did living in Sydney and Melbourne.

When we lived in Trondheim we had a badger who used to snuffle around in the garden in the evening. I'm a Kiwi and had never seen one in the flesh before and I got a hell of a fright about how big they are. No badgers here inside the Arctic Circle.

But I digress, back to jackets, I had the ELC Irvin on today.

I've never seen a fox yet here in Madrid, Zorro in Spanish, although I did see Lynx when we went up near the mountains, Bears no, they're further north

We have lynx here and bears, and obviously a lot of reindeer and moose. Saw a wolverine for the first time not long along. We also get a LOT of "havørn" (sorry buggered if I know what it is in English but it's the biggest eagle in the world) here which are just awesome.

Wolves which had disappeared because of hunting are just starting to appear and be seen again here in this county which is pretty cool.

Same here, wolves got hunted out before the war. You can't shoot a lynx, wolverine or an eagle either. Hunting season though for moose starts in autumn.

Not a jacket but here's one of those havørn (have to find out what they're called in English). They're bloody huge.

Nah mate. I'm a Kiwi. Lived twice in Oz, once in Chile and 3 times in Norway including this time. Although I won't be moving again, this is home now ;-)

Sadly … one of the last of the cool weather jacket days down here in Florida.

Irvin, 5 minutes ago. I thought I'd gasbagged on too much about birds and things so I better rectify it with a photo of the jacket which I swanned around in today.

Yes they cost an arm and a leg but ELC's Irvins just get better and better with wear.

 

[Kermit3D]

No time to take pictures, but I have worn my B-6 GW almost every day since I received it (early January). I love it so much !
... actually I took a ticket for a new GW jacket.

Looks like the cuffs and hem got some wear on 'em. I still say it's a shame that the top tier Irvin repros makers still can't come up with a good copy of the original zippers. That's probably the only real downfall.
